Many of you have asked about paint colors for rooms in my house. This is my attempt to answer those questions. It may not be exact (I am using a Sherwin Williams fan deck to find matches) but hopefully this will be helpful.

For those of you living in the Northwest, I buy my paint at Miller Paint, so when I have a Miller paint color name I will list it (though for many of the colors I used paint chips from other stores that I had them mix up--which, of course, I mostly no longer have!). From here on out I will use Sherwin Williams Paint chips, but will continue to use Miller Paint. That way, you can at least locate the paint chip and get similar results, should you choose to use it in your home. Also, I am adding the paint color squares from the Sherwin Williams website, but I am not sure how helpful that will be, because they don't look the same on my screen as on the actual chip--your screen may also vary. Where I have listed two very close colors, they appear much closer in person than on these swatches (though it is a clear representation of how much variation I get in different areas of my home with the same paint merely due to lighting variation!), but here they are for what it's worth!

Laundry Room, Powder Bath, Master Bedroom/Bathroom. Sort of gray, sort of blue--all lovely! And yes, these two pictures are of the same paint color! The laundry room did have a florescent light in it at the time, which, I think, makes everything bluer. Just an example of how lighting changes colors.

Hannah's Room (before it became the guest room--actually it's not the guest room yet. It is still acting as my sewing room. But it is on its way to becoming the guest room.) And these appear more turquoise in person--with "Glimmer" being slightly more green.
